I will succeed if I manage to bring enough awareness to specific scams that are currently being played out with these public-private partnerships. Just so that the next time someone stands up in a HOA meeting to tell their neighbors that they were victims of fraud, they won't have to deal with minds that live in very simple worlds--which is what makes them such easy marks.

In other words, CK_John, not everybody knows Florida as well as you do. In fact, I know they don't. What an irony Florida has become. You have white islands where people are so convinced that they have inoculated themselves from the worst because they've managed to keep minorities out of their neighborhoods, and the reality is, that inside their barricades are sharks that treat them like one giant bait ball.

It would almost be justified if I did nothing but continue to observe.
